# For the pleasure of making music by writing code.

I had got hooked on Switch Angel's videos, especially Coding Trance Music. The idea of music as code stuck with me: tracks built live, one line at a time.

Alessandro De Vecchi, Marketing Specialist · tells Coding Misk

### How I approached it

I combined that idea with what the new models can do, with my own twist. The first engine was rigid: I extended it with Claude, pushing at every round, until it could produce tracks with real structure: sections, transitions, odd meters, guitars, a balanced mix.

> Assisted-by: claude-code/claude-opus-5-5 (The signature in the commits)

### What came out

Every track becomes readable Strudel code that plays in the browser, with visuals in time with every instrument. And while a track builds itself, you can take over and write it yourself.

## Il progetto

- Built with: JavaScript, Strudel, Claude Code
- Runs on: The browser, locally
- Needs: Node 20
- Status: Open source, AGPL
